I bought some Yor Lok compression fittings the other day, and I cannot figure out how to properly install them. Yor Lok fittings have both a front and a back ferrule. I know I could probably experiment, but I don't want to screw with these fittings, because they were very expensive. Any one ever worked with these before? I know the cone shaped one goes in front of the disk shaped one, which I presume means that it comes in contact with the compression nut? I need someone to clarify this... also, I need to know what is the proper orientation of both fittings.

<a href="http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/ ... 2.jpg">Yor Lok 2</a>

So I guess just tell me which orientation (1, 2, 3, or 4) is <a href="http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/ ... correct</a>.

i think its 2, but i have no proof.

ive only used standard compression unions, but 2 looks the best to me.

What are those fittings used for?
compression fittings?

They are compression fittings... really high pressure compression fittings.

I personally thought it was 1... 3 and 4 are just way out there, and wouldn't make sense.

go to mcmaster and look at the technical drawings for this item

Yeah, I looked at Swagelok's website, and found out the right answer. Thanks for everyone's help.

well which was it?

Actually none of them... The "tip" of the cone shaped ferrule goes into the compression fitting,followed by the back ferrule (with the smaller end touching the back of the cone), and finally followed by the compression nut.
